Loops of Love (aka Single Girl)

I had the most wonderful weekend with my quilty friends! There was lots of sewing, lots of great conversation, lots of laughter, and lots of good food! So, what did I accomplish this weekend?

I only accomplished one thing...

I finished my king-size Loops of Love (aka Single Girl) quilt top!

I worked on this monster almost non-stop from Thursday night until Sunday afternoon. I'm just thrilled I was able to finish this top in one weekend! I still need to add the white borders to the top and bottom edge, but then I'll ready to sandwich and quilt.

I used the entire line of Katie Jump Rope and mixed in some Flea Market Fancy. I love the way it turned out; those two collections seem to be made for one another. I really want to hand quilt this behemoth, so it may be a while before you see it finished, but I'm anxious to get started.

Are you making a Single Girl quilt too? Check out the SGSG on flickr while I go order a really big piece of batting.

I canNOT believe you did a king size! I have been cutting (and cutting) and have nine rings cut and nothing sewn yet. I was going to do a combo of FMF and KJR, but ended up going with Hope Valley for nine rings and coordinating solids for three rings, with some solids thrown into the prints just here and there. Your quilt top is gorgeous!!!
